Amalfi
. We headed to the beach and hung out on the black sand and went swimming in the clear blue water. Jerry and I came up with the idea of getting a snorkel and goggles for our next weekend at the beach. After the sun went down we headed back to the hostel to take showers. We then went to the Luigi e Luigi ristorante (the Luigi and Luigi restaurant). We got the local pasta dish spaghetti Atrani. It was spaghetti with oil, garlic and pakili peppers, very tasty and kinda spicy. We hung around for 6 hours having some drinks and talking with the Luigis it was a great time two of the coolest guys we have meet. We tried the limoncello a lemon liquor that is better in the south due to the freshness and type of lemons. We also tried a cocktail with vodka, limoncello, and orange juice it was very good very fresh. We walked over to Amalfi and hung out on the peer the city was very beautiful at night but I couldn't get a good picture sorry.Day 26 (M) Woke up and headed for our free breakfast. It was very good the best breakfast I've had. Freshest and the best orange juice ever, the best cappuccino with a chocolate powder smiley face, and a cornetto with simple frosting and powdered sugar on the outside and filled with a peach jam, I wish I could have box some up and sent it home. We had to catch a bus at 12:12 for Sorrento so we could get back to Naples and get a train for Florence. We went to the beach until we had to go get on the bus. The bus ride back I got on the side of the bus that faced the coast so I could take pictures

. The bus ride only took an hour and 50 minutes this time. We got on the local train from Sorrento to Naples it took 2+ hours to get to Naples where we had to buy a ticket to Rome because there was no train to Florence left. I had to stand the 3+ hours on the way to Rome and the second stop in a family of about 25 got on, not even joking that might be an under estimation. They looked at me like I was a giant because the tallest one of them was about 5'6". They were funny though I could understand some of the things they were talking about. The only Burger King in Italy is in Rome where they were going and the one kid kept talking about how great the burger was going to be. Well after that long hot ride we got tickets from Rome to Florence but standing room only. So we got a back section so we could sit in the aisle. We played cards the whole way home and it made the trip go by quickly. We got back to Florence around 10:30 so we traveled for 8 hours today.
